Mitra, yama, qsiti, sovani... These four races exist in one world. A world filled with Remnants — mysterious artifacts from an ancient era.

Who created the Remnant? How long ago? And for what purpose? With these questions left unanswered, the Remnants became beneficial tools used for the good of civilization. The world was at peace...or so it seemed. Who was to know such darkness lay in wait?

The powers of the Remnants slowly began to change the world's balance. A rift slowly formed between those who ruled and those who obeyed. This was the dawning of a new era — an era of countless frays that would be brought upon the world by those enslaved by their own lust for power.

A thousand years later, the journey of one young man begins.

Featuring an enthralling story, countless characters and an intricate battle system, Square Enix brings the RPG experience known as The Last Remnant to the PC. Discover new strategies in the improved battle system.

Interesting take on the genre

The Last Remnant tells the story of a teenage boy and his sister who got both caught in a war involving the so-called “Remnants”. Those things are ancient relics with monstrous power that some nation which to use as a weapon of mass destruction. It’s a pretty interesting story with likeable characters like David or Emma. There are also a few races of beast-like creatures among the characters. I’m pretty fond of the Four-arms- Panther-men guys! The game’s presentation is well executed. The soundtrack offers many epic songs and the graphical issues that plagued the console version are almost all gone here.
On the side of gameplay, The Last Remnant is very original for a JRPG. First of all, you can have up to eighteen characters in your team at the same time. Why? Because your main characters are in facts generals and each of them has a few soldiers under his command. So you get to fight using several squads at the same time. There is not much to do with them, though, since you can only order them to do certain things like “Attack using your magical skills” without being able to select which spell you want them to use. However that’s not a problem here. You have just enough things to consider during battles (There are a lot of features here like deadlock, flank attack and so on...) and the enemies can be quite tough to beat! You have to use a good strategy to win most of the time.
Out of battle, you can recruit new soldiers just like in any Tactical RPG which is kind of unexpected for The Last Remnant. There are also a lot of side quests to do.
The Last Remnant is certainly not the best JRPG ever made but it’s a solid package of fun and challenge.

Worth checking out

It offers pretty graphics (still very pretty in 2014 standard) and story line akin to the likes of final fantasy. Switch the voice to Japanese and it's like watching a 3D animated version of your favorite anime. Well, with game play.

The comabt may look simple, but there's actually quite a bit of complexity to it. Instead of focusing on stats for individual characters, it makes you focus on the synergy of groups. Lots of experimenting makes group management interesting (not just equipping the best weapon/armour to your characters).

The stand-out feature for me are the boss fights. Imagine dark souls boss fights in turn based fashion.. now throw in the addition that your character may freak out due to low morale. This really provides the sense that you worked hard for the victory.

Bottom line, worth checking out for all the JRPG fans on PC.

Good anime

The game it looks like a anime movie. It very simplistic, reminds me of the old 2d games but you can enjoy the story which is the reason i actually bought it.
The story of the game is interesting, especially if you enjoy this kind of thinks, not to mention you can put to hear the Japanese language and have english sub making the game better

The game play it different then any other game that i played but i can actually say that you need more a console then a keyboard, you will enjoy it more and it not that complicate.

Not bad, but not great.

Last Remnant only holds the namesake of a Square Enix title. I can't say that I really enjoyed it. It falls into the stereotypical JRPG story and characters.

The combat itself is a little different to the typical turn base strategy, but it doesn't do enough to hold my interest. If you're in the mood for a JRPG with a slightly different combat system, then The Last Remnants wouldn't be a horrible choice, particularly if you can grab it on sale. Otherwise, there are better games that are worth your time.

One of the best rpg experience

I must say, i always like this type of game and playstyle, and there aren't that many releases for this type of RPG, which is turn based.
The play should be far better than is it, it's kinda linear at some point.
However, i really enjoy playing because you have so much to learn and soo much too do, like Final fantasy series. (which i can even compare, of course)
Mechanics and a bit awkward at first, but it's easy to control after you understand the skill, and the motavation bar.
You have more than 80 unique leaders, chosen by you, all diferent in some point.
Tons of weapons you can craft, more and more chalenge and rare monster to deafeat.
Not the best, but not the worst.
I still recommend who likes to play FF series.
